You want someone who understands the unique challenges that you may face
Our nearly 90 years of experience supporting Federal Employees means we are ready to step in when you need it most.
The new FedAssist Flex Loan is designed to allow both federal government employees and federal contractors impacted by the shutdown to receive up to two months of their net pay. The loan will be available to new and existing FedChoice members who can prove that they are impacted by the shutdown without a direct deposit requirement once a Federal Government Shutdown occurs.
For the first 90 days, you may make transfers from the loan to your account and you are free to use these funds as a replacement for any missing paychecks that may occur. If the funds are repaid during that time, no interest will be charged on the loan. If you choose to keep the loan after 90 days, the loan will lock and you will be unable to transfer additional funds and will enter into a repayment period that is 24 months with a reduced signature loan rate.
